Re: Arbor Electric guitar

: : I have what appears to be an early 70's guitar in almost new condition that says ARBOR ELECTRIC on it. It is a Strat style with 2 humbuckers. It also has a Rock Lock tremelo and plays some really super nasty sounds. It has the original hardshell case and I cannot even find a listing for Arbor guitars. It is red and heavy as hell. Anyone have an idea about its value? Does Arbor still make guitars?******

I play an arbor stiletto bass. I like the headless build and the tones are good for what I want. However, I too have tried researching to find out about other guitars made by the same company to no avail. It's really frustrating.

This is interesting to me, as about a year ago soon, I saw a really cool guitar at a record shop in downtown Orlando FL. I ended up buying it, it's black and says Arbor on the headstock, and I found out through some searching that the body style is called a Voyager. Has a really good tone, with two humbuckers, and mine has the rock lock assembly as well. Its very hard to find a picture of one that looks anywhere close to mine.

However, I was wondering if there were some way I could install a whammy bar into the rock lock thing, it looks like you could put one there.

It's amazing,I never thought that I'd find anybody else with a "Arbor" Electric Guitar but I have a "Tellie" knock off that Says: Arbor Electric Guitar" on the headstock. It';s nowhere as good as a real USA nade Fender but I paid next to nothing for it. I purchased it from The Former Drummer's Workshop from my late friend and one time employer "Mike Gerardi". It's all black with a maple neck. The machines were Korean by a firm called Ping. I used it on a few session untill it was supplanted by some Hollow Body Epiphones and a Strat. I was a good deal for $75.00. There was so much stuff coming into the states from many offshore makers who the week before operated a Rice Processing Plant. The neck feels very clumsey. The pots are cheap and scratchy from the get go. The neck pick-up is gutless but it was something when I was making $6.00 an hour. I still have it but it's pretty much just one of many import knockoffs. Okay but you'll be hard pressed to fall in love with it if one ever knew anything about guitars

I have a black flying V from Arbor. I have found out that the company has stopped making them and they are as old as 1985, possibly even older. Arbor was formerly a company called Hohner. Hohner is still in business but they make harmonicas. A search on them could be helpful. I couldn't get a price as they aren't made any more.
